A C#m F#m

All they said, don't disturb your head

D E A

About the work we do

A C#m F#m

Just stay in school, someday you'll do

D E A

What we couldn't do

A C D

But run boy run in the summer sun

G

On a summer day

A C D

You know what you know and you can't wait to grow

G E

Be on your way

A C#m F#m

I could only understand that my dad's a good man

D E A

And he's glad payday

A C#m F#m

Now high school plan, be a motor city man

D E A

Working night or day

A C#m F#m

No matter who you are, you've got to have a car

D E A

In the USA

A C D

Something aint right about the billboards filing

G

Down the big highway

A C D

Now hard times again, and good working men

G E

Are sittin’ home all day

A C#m F#m

I know this plant's closing down and I'm leaving this town

D E A

I'll be gone payday

A C D

Yeah the red lights and green lights that lighted my home

G

Are gonna light my way

A C D

Goodbye to the park and the corner after dark

G E

Where I lost my faith

A C#m F#m

Let the factories all fall down to the mother ground

D E A

I'll be gone payday

Yeah, I've done all I can I'm a Motor city man

And I'm on my way

Said I'm on my way

I said I'm on my way
